Perhaps tiring of being criticised for being entirely bereft of production quality, quality anime Akikan has opted to simply abandon the tedious business of animating characters and instead just film the seiyuu having a chat, replacing the normal episode with it. Fans quickly noted the increase in production values.

In case it isn’t obvious, this is simply because it’s a 12-episode series in a 13-episode time slot, so rather than be done a week early, they put this in instead. Most other 12-episode shows started a week later due to the New Year’s Holidays, so don’t have this issue. They could have just ended the run a week early, but threw this in to fill the time (since they already paid for it). There was never going to be 13 episodes anyway, so it’s not like they replaced a planned episode with this or something (or “abandoned anime”).

As usual, the truth is many times more mundane than the headline. (Though the ability to make a story out of anything, no matter how otherwise irrelevant, is perhaps something to be feared.)

Not anime airing in an anime timeslot. Normally an anime does not insert this kind of thing into their run. The anime in question already has a reputation. It is hard to see how this is not noteworthy as such.

Well, I guess it was either that or a clip show (which many shows have done in their run). It’s more the fact that, as usual, there’s actually a perfectly logical mundane explanation for this that was conveniently excised… ^^;

Wow, do you honestly have nothing better to do than LOOK AT EACH AND EVERY FUCKING FRAME START TO FINISH SO YOU CAN SPOT PHYSICS-DEFYING MISTAKES IN AN ALREADY PHYSICS-DEFYING SHOW JUST SO YOU CAN POST SAID MISTAKES ON THE INTERNET FOR ALL TO SEE AND DEEM IT A PLAGUE ON THE WORLD?

…Pardon? That was sarcasm? Oh, sorry, but I’m not very good at noticing these things in print.
